        2. The fact that any person charged with violating this
    Section is or has been legally entitled to use alcohol,
    other drug or drugs, any intoxicating compound or
    compounds, or any combination of them, shall not constitute
    a defense against any charge of violating this Section.
        3. Every person convicted of violating this Section

    otherwise provided in this Section.
        4. Every person convicted of violating this Section
    shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony if:

        Section;
            (b) The offense results in personal injury where a

        5.2. A person found guilty of violating this Section,
    if his or her operation of a watercraft while in violation

    in-car video cameras, radar and laser speed detection
    devices, and alcohol breath testers.
        6. (a) In addition to any criminal penalties imposed,
        the Department of Natural Resources shall suspend the
        watercraft operation privileges of any person
        convicted or found guilty of a misdemeanor under this
        Section, a similar provision of a local ordinance, or
        Title 46 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations for a
        period of one year, except that a first time offender
        is exempt from this mandatory one year suspension.
            As used in this subdivision (A)6(a), "first time
        offender" means any person who has not had a previous
        conviction or been assigned supervision for violating
        this Section, a similar provision of a local ordinance
        or, Title 46 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations,
        or any person who has not had a suspension imposed
        under subdivision (B)3.1 of Section 5-16.
            (b) In addition to any criminal penalties imposed,
        the Department of Natural Resources shall suspend the
        watercraft operation privileges of any person
        convicted of a felony under this Section, a similar
        provision of a local ordinance, or Title 46 of the U.S.
        Code of Federal Regulations for a period of 3 years.
    (B) 1. Any person who operates or is in actual physical
    control of any watercraft upon the waters of this State
    shall be deemed to have given consent to a chemical test or
    tests of blood, breath or urine for the purpose of
    determining the content of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
    intoxicating compound or compounds, or combination thereof
    in the person's blood if arrested for any offense of
    subsection (A) above. The chemical test or tests shall be
    administered at the direction of the arresting officer. The
    law enforcement agency employing the officer shall
    designate which of the tests shall be administered. A urine
    test may be administered even after a blood or breath test
    or both has been administered.
        1.1. For the purposes of this Section, an Illinois Law
    Enforcement officer of this State who is investigating the
    person for any offense defined in Section 5-16 may travel
    into an adjoining state, where the person has been
    transported for medical care to complete an investigation,
    and may request that the person submit to the test or tests
    set forth in this Section. The requirements of this Section
    that the person be arrested are inapplicable, but the
    officer shall issue the person a uniform citation for an
    offense as defined in Section 5-16 or a similar provision
    of a local ordinance prior to requesting that the person
    submit to the test or tests. The issuance of the uniform
    citation shall not constitute an arrest, but shall be for
    the purpose of notifying the person that he or she is
    subject to the provisions of this Section and of the
    officer's belief in the existence of probable cause to
    arrest. Upon returning to this State, the officer shall
    file the uniform citation with the circuit clerk of the
    county where the offense was committed and shall seek the
    issuance of an arrest warrant or a summons for the person.
        1.2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this
    Act to submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the
    implied consent to these tests, if a law enforcement
    officer has probable cause to believe that a watercraft
    operated by or under actual physical control of a person
    under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
    intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination of
    them has caused the death of or personal injury to another,
    that person shall submit, upon the request of a law
    enforcement officer, to a chemical test or tests of his or
    her blood, breath, or urine for the purpose of determining
    the alcohol content or the presence of any other drug,
    intoxicating compound, or combination of them. For the
    purposes of this Section, a personal injury includes severe
    bleeding wounds, distorted extremities, and injuries that
    require the injured party to be carried from the scene for
    immediate professional attention in either a doctor's
    office or a medical facility.
        2. Any person who is dead, unconscious or who is
    otherwise in a condition rendering such person incapable of
    refusal, shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent
    provided above, and the test may be administered.
        3. A person requested to submit to a chemical test as
    provided above shall be verbally advised by the law
    enforcement officer requesting the test that a refusal to
    submit to the test will result in suspension of such
    person's privilege to operate a watercraft for a minimum of
    2 years. Following this warning, if a person under arrest
    refuses upon the request of a law enforcement officer to
    submit to a test designated by the officer, no test shall
    be given, but the law enforcement officer shall file with
    the clerk of the circuit court for the county in which the
    arrest was made, and with the Department of Natural
    Resources, a sworn statement naming the person refusing to
    take and complete the chemical test or tests requested
    under the provisions of this Section. Such sworn statement
    shall identify the arrested person, such person's current
    residence address and shall specify that a refusal by such
    person to take the chemical test or tests was made. Such
    sworn statement shall include a statement that the
    arresting officer had reasonable cause to believe the
    person was operating or was in actual physical control of
    the watercraft within this State while under the influence
    of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or
    compounds, or combination thereof and that such chemical
    test or tests were made as an incident to and following the
    lawful arrest for an offense as defined in this Section or
    a similar provision of a local ordinance, and that the
    person after being arrested for an offense arising out of
    acts alleged to have been committed while so operating a
    watercraft refused to submit to and complete a chemical
    test or tests as requested by the law enforcement officer.
        3.1. The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn
    statement as provided in paragraph 3 of this subsection (B)
    shall serve immediate written notice upon the person
    refusing the chemical test or tests that the person's
    privilege to operate a watercraft within this State will be
    suspended for a period of 2 years unless, within 28 days
    from the date of the notice, the person requests in writing
    a hearing on the suspension.
        If the person desires a hearing, such person shall file
    a complaint in the circuit court for and in the county in
    which such person was arrested for such hearing. Such
    hearing shall proceed in the court in the same manner as
    other civil proceedings, shall cover only the issues of
    whether the person was placed under arrest for an offense
    as defined in this Section or a similar provision of a
    local ordinance as evidenced by the issuance of a uniform
    citation; whether the arresting officer had reasonable
    grounds to believe that such person was operating a
    watercraft while under the influence of alcohol, other drug
    or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or
    combination thereof; and whether such person refused to
    submit and complete the chemical test or tests upon the
    request of the law enforcement officer. Whether the person
    was informed that such person's privilege to operate a
    watercraft would be suspended if such person refused to
    submit to the chemical test or tests shall not be an issue.
        If the person fails to request in writing a hearing
    within 28 days from the date of notice, or if a hearing is
    held and the court finds against the person on the issues
    before the court, the clerk shall immediately notify the
    Department of Natural Resources, and the Department shall
    suspend the watercraft operation privileges of the person
    for at least 2 years.
        3.2. If the person submits to a test that discloses an
    alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, or any amount of a
    drug, substance or intoxicating compound in the person's
    breath, blood, or urine resulting from the unlawful use of
    cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled
    substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances
    Act, or an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of
    Intoxicating Compounds Act, the law enforcement officer
    shall immediately submit a sworn report to the circuit
    clerk of venue and the Department of Natural Resources,
    certifying that the test or tests were requested under
    paragraph 1 of this subsection (B) and the person submitted
    to testing that disclosed an alcohol concentration of 0.08
    or more.
        In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of 0.08
    or greater or any amount of drug, substance or compound
    resulting from the unlawful use of cannabis, a controlled
    substance or an intoxicating compound is established by a
    subsequent analysis of blood or urine collected at the time
    of arrest, the arresting officer or arresting agency shall
    immediately submit a sworn report to the circuit clerk of
    venue and the Department of Natural Resources upon receipt
    of the test results.
        4. A person must submit to each chemical test offered
    by the law enforcement officer in order to comply with the
    implied consent provisions of this Section.
        5. The provisions of Section 11-501.2 of the Illinois
    Vehicle Code, as amended, concerning the certification and
    use of chemical tests apply to the use of such tests under
    this Section.
    (C) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
by any person while operating a watercraft while under the
influence of alcohol, the concentration of alcohol in the
person's blood or breath at the time alleged as shown by
analysis of a person's blood, urine, breath, or other bodily
substance shall give rise to the presumptions specified in
subdivisions 1, 2, and 3 of subsection (b) of Section 11-501.2
of the Illinois Vehicle Code. The foregoing provisions of this
subsection (C) shall not be construed as limiting the
introduction of any other relevant evidence bearing upon the
question whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
    (D) If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
chemical test under the provisions of this Section, evidence of
refusal shall be admissible in any civil or criminal action or
proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
while the person under the influence of alcohol, other drug or
drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds, or combination of
them was operating a watercraft.
    (E) The owner of any watercraft or any person given
supervisory authority over a watercraft, may not knowingly
permit a watercraft to be operated by any person under the
influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating
compound or compounds, or combination thereof.
    (F) Whenever any person is convicted or found guilty of a
violation of this Section, including any person placed on court
supervision, the court shall notify the Office of Law
Enforcement of the Department of Natural Resources, to provide
the Department with the records essential for the performance
of the Department's duties to monitor and enforce any order of
suspension or revocation concerning the privilege to operate a
watercraft.
    (G) No person who has been arrested and charged for
violating paragraph 1 of subsection (A) of this Section shall
operate any watercraft within this State for a period of 24
hours after such arrest.
